How This Automation Works
Emergency Lockout Request Received → Nearest Technician Dispatched Automatically
Emergency Request Captured
Customer lockout request is received through any channel—phone IVR, website form, mobile app, or SMS—with automatic data capture of location, lock type, and contact information
Technician Availability Checked
System instantly queries all active technicians' current locations via GPS, checks their availability status, current job progress, and service area assignments to identify optimal candidates
Nearest Locksmith Assigned
The closest available and qualified technician is automatically assigned based on distance, travel time, specialization match, and workload, with job details pushed to their mobile device
Customer Notification Sent
Customer receives immediate confirmation via SMS and email with assigned technician name, photo, credentials, estimated arrival time, and real-time tracking link
Real-Time Status Updates
System monitors technician progress and automatically sends status updates including 'en route', '10 minutes away', 'arrived', and 'job complete' notifications to keep customers informed
Job Completion Tracked
Technician marks job complete in mobile app, triggering automatic invoice generation, payment processing, customer satisfaction survey, and availability update for next dispatch
How It Works
Emergency lockout situations demand immediate response. This automated dispatch system receives lockout service requests through phone, web forms, or mobile apps, instantly identifies the nearest available technician based on GPS location and current availability, and sends complete job details including customer location, lock type, and access codes. The system automatically updates customers with technician ETA, sends arrival notifications, and tracks job completion in real-time. By eliminating manual dispatcher coordination and phone tag, locksmith businesses can respond to emergency lockouts faster, serve more customers during peak hours, and build a reputation for reliability when customers need help most urgently.
